When the heart goes [ bad its serious for those who care to | live. Tin only thing to do is to takb j care of the engine before it begins to j rust and slow’ up. That can only be | done by careful living, careful eating, | careful habits, careful exercise and | I careful judgment. The first orders of the new police j chief in Chicago under Mayor Thonip- j son were to "tilt the lid," to pay less j attention to hip flasks, parties, good j times, bootleggers and more to driv- j ing the thugs out of that city. It will j never work boys. So long as the city is conducted under an open policy, the greater the population of thugs, gunmen, bandits and undesirable citizens. H Thompson can run a wide open Chicago and at the same time rid it of "bad men" he will indeed be a wizzard. School children at New Haven and in several schools are staging

strikes, refusing to return to school ’ because of the dismissal of some . teacher or coach or some change of rules. Thais wrong and while perhaps not surprising on the part of the children who are at the age when they . like lo act cute or smart certainly I shows a luck of cooperation on tile part of parents. They could stop these stiikes quickly and permanently if they would and they should. A ! school can uot be operated any more ) * ( than any other business when there > i discord nor can they permit the 1 students to conduit the affairs of con- • I trol. Why do people continue to live in districts where at least once every year I hey at e in danger of having to the from flood waters and undergo suffering and loss? That question | often is asked. Perhaps there are two chief reasons. One is hope. There 'has been a disastrous flood this ye,ar. but the hope that we are told "springs j eternal in the human breast" leads | the sufferers to think that maybe I never will it be repeated, or maybe that the nation and states will remedy the situation somehow. For. it may be noted, to many persons the national government possesses super-! ! human qualities and may rise superior to the forces of nature. Then as I a second reason, these flooded districts are the homes of thousands who do not know any other. Their money is invested there and most of them always have lived there. The winds may bend a tree and break its limbs, | but so long as the roots remain in the ground that tree will remain ini that spot ami though it may be all I but destroyed, it will grow again in '

This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place.. Because of its germ-destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a ‘dear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles MenthoSulpMur at any drug store.
